The first Star Wars movie in seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is eying nearly $100 million in its extended four-day opening weekend. This is a massive number, but it’s the worst showing for a Star Wars live-action movie since Disney’s takeover of the franchise. It’s also under the $103 million four-day opening of Solo: A Star Wars Story, which was released in 2018 and is now remembered for being the only flop in the franchise’s decades-long history. The good news is that The Mandalorian and Grogu wasn’t as expensive to produce as Solo, which suffered through a difficult production and was released amid negative fan campaigns. Whether it turns out to be a hit or a flop, The Mandalorian and Grogu will always dominate the discourse. However, a more shocking event took place at the box office this weekend.
Yes, even more shocking than the second-weekend haul of Obsession — the horror movie made history by grossing more in its sophomore frame than it did in its opening weekend. The terrific buzz surrounding the film is expected to push it past the $100 million mark worldwide, against a reported budget of under $1 million. This would make it one of the biggest hits of all time by return on investment. Scratch beneath these two headlines, and you’ll discover that the new Guy Ritchie movie, In the Grey, has dropped out of the domestic top 10 list entirely after just one week despite featuring stars such as Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González.
Guy Ritchie Is Staring at His Worst Bomb Since ‘Revolver’
Ritchie is still an above-the-title filmmaker and his output remains hugely popular on streaming. He has three shows running concurrently, and has been on a particularly prolific run in the last few years. However, In the Grey has emerged as his fourth flop in a row after Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, The Covenant, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. In fact, In the Grey is shaping up to be one of the biggest flops of its kind in recent memory. The movie grossed less than $3 million in its opening weekend, which marked Ritchie’s worst domestic debut in nearly two decades. On its first Thursday, it averaged just $83 per theater and was outgrossed by Project Hail Mary and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which were released several weeks ago. The movie has so far grossed only around $5 million, which is around one-eighth of what Ritchie and Cavill’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E made in 2015. The espionage thriller was supposed to start a new franchise, but wasn’t a big enough hit to warrant a sequel. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
